American music artists Chris Brown and Tyga, known for their collaborative projects, released "Ayo" as the lead single from their 2015 album, *Fan of a Fan: The Album*. This track, written by Brown, Tyga, Nic Nac, and Mark Kragen, and produced by Nic Nac and Mark Kragen, features Brown singing the hook and second verse while Tyga raps the first, with both artists contributing to the final verse. Critics noted the "uncanny chemistry" between Brown and Tyga on "Ayo," with PopCrush describing the song as "insanely catchy" despite its sexually charged lyrics. The music video, directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in Los Angeles, California, showcases Brown and Tyga competing to display their wealth, culminating in a drag race between Lamborghinis. Some critics drew comparisons between "Ayo" and Brown's 2014 single "Loyal," also produced by Nic Nac.
